I'm not responsible for Nebe's posts.


Well, it sounds like those with access to the secret intel were able to make that distinction and didn't come up with anything new.

You said that commottee is not led by Democrats. The chairperson is a hard core Democrat. I can't say it any more clearly.

"fixed in the balanced of its membership"

There are 8 members who caucus with the Democrats, and 7 members who caucus with the GOP. 8, I believe, is greater than 7.

The bi-partisan report sems to refute Nebe's claim that the link to AL Queda was fabricated by a reporter.

Ha, "hardcore" Democrat. Feinstien is known as a moderate in the Senate. You want to make it sounds like because the Dem's have a senate majority that adds legitimacy to the findings...guess what? It wouldn't make a difference. It's also why the same committee didn't thrash Bush over Iraqi intel...
